crl-13270	Moffett, W. A.	The Information Society: Issues and Answers (Book Review)	1979	1	.pdf	application/pdf	674	28	49	Thomas Buckman, president of the Foun- Recent Publications I 13 dation Center, treated information as a commodity and discussed the economic im- plications posed by new technology; Gerald Shields of the School of Information and Li- brary Studies, SUNY Buffalo, invited analysis of the new role of librarians result- ing from that technology; and Fay Blake of the School of Library Science, University of California at Berkeley, warned that public access to information must be determined, not by technology, but by librarians with a clear notion of their patrons' need. OCLC director Fred Kilgour briefly re- viewed past applications of technology to li- braries, chiefly in cataloging, and invited participants to speculate on the fountain of beneficial effects about to shower forth as computer technology moved librarianship into another of its great ages.	cache/crl-13270.pdf	txt/crl-13270.txt
